Once a week in the irrigation season:
Check that no water is entering the oil on the rear axle assembly. Lubricate the steering, roller chain for hose guides, roller chain for forward traction, cross
track shaft for hose guide with water-repellent grease.
Check tyre pressure (35 psi)
Clean the filter at the turbine outlet if required
Check that the hose is positioned neatly.
Remember to check the guide pins in the hose guides regularly.
Remember to tighten the wheel bolts regularly.
Note: The battery should be charged once a month during the season to maintain full power and extend its useful life.
Preparation for winter
Drain water from the machine:
Unwind the hose completely, release the brake and tighten the V-belt, but do NOT put the machine in gear. Then drive the machine into the tractor.
REMEMBER before unwinding the hose:
Open the filter coupling. Open the valve in the base of the turbine. On machines with overpressure stops, press START on the computer to open the main
valve and allow the water to flow out freely.
